What are the price ranges of the single family patio homes? RESPONSE: Prices will range from $110,000 to 130,000 for the patio homes. These homes will range in size from 1,200 square feet to 1,600 square feet and feature two -car garages. 6 without impacting the existing residences on Hill Pond Road. CSURF will be right in the thick of things and they need to participate in street improvements as needed, not in the distant future. There needs to be a commitment to build the street network out to Shields before any further development is approved in this area 28. Don't make Hill Pond a direct connection to Centre Avenue. 29. Can CSURF commit to a street pattern? RESPONSE: Yes, we can commit to a street pattern but we cannot commit to a timeframe since we have no end user for our portion of the land trade. 30. When will there be a commitment on the street network? RESPONSE: Prior to P & Z. 31. This area needs a collector street to relieve potential pressure on Hill Pond Road. RESPONSE: This is a good comment. 32. What about construction traffic for the portion of Windtrail that is already approved? Can construction traffic be routed through Tract J on a temporary road and not impact Hill Pond Road? RESPONSE: This will be investigated. 33. What will trigger Centre Avenue to be built over to Prospect? RESPONSE: It is difficult to guess what would trigger this street extension. Perhaps the construction of a U.S.D.A. facility in the C.A.T. would trigger the extension. 34. Would Windtrail Limited Liability (McCoy) build the single family or would a different builder? RESPONSE: McCoy would build the single family which are actually more of a patio home product. 35. Is single family feasible south of Rolland Moore Drive next to the slope? RESPONSE: Yes, these lots will be for patio homes. 36. Will there be major grade changes? RESPONSE: No, there will be minor grade changes to accomplish proper drainage. 5 closer to the main campus. At this time, we are doing due diligence on the pros and cons. We are hopeful the trade will occur. The decision will have to be made by our Board of Directors. 23. What does CSURF anticipate doing with the property gained from Windtrail? RESPONSE: We plan on holding the land until a user is identified that promotes the affiliiation between CSU and private sector research. On the O.D.P., we presently call this out to be office, commercial, and research & development. An example would be Summit Labs, the biotech company that just completed a building in the C.A.T. There are no end users identified at this time. We are in a position to hold the land without the pressure to develop so we can hold for the long term. 24. The Bay Farm portion of the C.A.T. is about 40 acres in size. This area is absolutely critical in preserving neighborhood compatibility. This area is designated as passive open space and or recreation. As property owners, we are expecting these areas to remain so designated. CSURF should be informed that any proposed changes to these parcels requires the full amendment process with a hearing in front of the P & Z Board. RESPONSE: CSURF has no plans to change the existing designations on the approved C.A.T. Overall Development Plan. 25. We are concerned about the traffic on the CSURF portion of the trade. Hill Pond Road should not be expected to continue straight through to Centre Avenue. This will bring too much traffic into our neighborhood and the street is too narrow as is. Any extension of Hill Pond Road must be carefully considered so it fits into the big picture. RESPONSE: This is a good comment. 26. We prefer that CSURF traffic be kept separate from Hill Pond and Windtrail traffic. CSURF traffic should be directed over to Centre Avenue and Hill Pond/Windtrail traffic should be directed over to Shields. Rolland Moore Drive should not be a collector street that ties directly into Centre Avenue. RESPONSE: Again, this is a good comment. 27. If Windtrail townhomes and single family have a hope of tieing into Shields via Rolland Moore Drive, then the street will have to cut across CSURF's portion of the land trade. This will require that CSURF participate in the construction. I am concerned about getting a commitment from CSURF as to their willingness to participate. We must have a way for these folks to get to Shields 4 regular traffic from moving through., The Poudre Fire Authority has jurisdiction over the final design. 15. We are concerned. that the fire access lane not become a parking lot. RESPONSE: That is our concern also. 16. Will there be access from Hill Pond Road to Rolland Moore Drive? RESPONSE: Yes, a connection is anticipated via Shire Court. 17. Will there be a traffic signal on Shields? RESPONSE: Yes, eventually, there will be a signal at Shields and Rolland Moore Drive. The timing of installing the signal is not clear at this time due to funding sources. Usually, the need must be clearly warranted before funding is available for a new signal. 18. A signal on Shields at Rolland Moore Drive is needed now, even if this project does not go forward. The City installed a signal at Horsetooth Road and Manahattan Drive where the.need is dubious. The lack of need did not prevent a signal from being installed there. 19. Windtrail Townhomes and single family, (north of Tract J and previously approved) need an outlet other than Hill Pond Road. Rolland Moore Drive needs to be a second point of access so Hill Pond Road does not get loaded up. This will require participation from CSURF. RESPONSE: This is a good comment. As you are aware, Windtrail Limited Liability Company is working cooperatively with CSURF on a potential land trade. This cooperative effort recognizes the need to coordinate circulation in the area. 20. When do you expect to break ground? RESPONSE: We expect to begin land development work in the Fall, depending on when and if we obtain H.U.D. guarantees. Construction of the apartments could take up to one year to complete. 21. When will the trade with CSURF become official? RESPONSE: We hope by this summer. 22. What is CSURF's position on the land trade? RESPONSE: We are looking favorably at the trade since it gives us more land closer to the future Centre Avenue. This will tie us 3 6. Is there any H.U.D. participation? RESPONSE: Yes, the program is referred to as 2-21-D-4. This program involves a guaranteed mortgage, not subsidized housing. 7. Will this project trigger the vacation of the Shields/Shire intersection? RESPONSE: Yes, in accordance with the Sundering Townhome P.U.D. approved back in 1982. 8. Will the units be air conditioned? RESPONSE: Yes. 9. Will the units be handicap accessible? RESPONSE: All first floor units will either be handicap accessible or handicap adaptable as per the City I s• Uniform Building Code which complies with the federal A.D.A. requirements. 10. Will you be renting by the bedroom? RESPONSE: No. We anticipate that we will be renting to professionals who may be residing in Fort Collins on an interim basis and do not desire to purchase a home. There is hope that Fort Collins and C.A.T. will be the site of the new U.S.D.A. facility. With our proximity, we provide an attractive housing choice for employees who are in the rental market. 11. Will the greenbelt along Shields match the existing situation in front of Sundering Townhomes? RESPONSE: Not sure at this time, but we will try to match up. 12. Will Rolland Moore Drive be a collector or local? RESPONSE: We are designing for a collector street up to where the single family lots begin, after that, it may taper down to a local street. 13. Will the temporary fire access on the north align with Weathertop Lane in Sundering Townhomes? RESPONSE: The alignment will be close. 14. What does a fire access lane look like? RESPONSE: The fire access lane will be temporary until there is a second point of access from the east. The access must be hard surface or gravel and features a gate or chain that prevents 2 MEETING MINUTES PROJECT: Windtrail Apartments and Single Family Centre for Advanced Technology Amended O.D.P.
